Product Description:
“Eddington’s book comes off as a well-written, well-documented account of what happens when a CIA employee rocks the boat. It raises concerns that go beyond Desert Storm, a fear that the CIA has given up its independence from the Pentagon.”—The Birmingham News 7/13/97

"Gassed In The Gulf" is one of the most important books I have read in recent memory. As an independent journalist who's written on the subject of Gulf War Syndrome, I found Mr. Eddington's book to be enormously insightful. Most of my research and writing on this topic revolved around the exposure of our troops to depleted uranium, and how that is directly connected to GWS; however, my knowledge of the release of chemical/biological agents during the war was, as this book has shown me, sadly lacking.

This is one of the most important books about the Gulf War.
Pat Eddington tells the story in this book of his and his wife's odyssey within the CIA, working to adjust official policy to reflect the actual facts on the ground. Unfortunately, truth was one of the first casualties of the Gulf War.
Interviewing veterans, including key source documents and detailing the shameful way the government dealt with returning veterans of the Gulf War, Eddington reveals a different side of Washington ... Read More

This book reminds me of the tale of " Man of La Mancha" or Pat and Robin against the intelligence community. I cannot believe that an imagery analyst was able to find and reveal all this information to CIA and other government officials and no one else was able to see the light. Mr. Eddington sounds like a disgruntled employee out for his own glory. He keeps saying how the Agecy killed his career but it may of been his own undoing. Just keep attacking those winmills!!! wait for the movie!!!

Interesting read, fair editing, but I wouldn't put too much stock in this story. Mr. Eddington sounds almost amateurish in his insistence that nerve agents are responsible for the illnesses that many of us veterans face everyday, and hysterical in his insistence that this was "the case" which got him the boot from the CIA. This is even more interesting since he has changed his tune to fit the "cause du jour" - signing onto the anti-DU lobby, the anti-anthrax vaccine groups, and whatever else will keep him around ...

Dear Readers,
I urge you to read this book if you are truly concerned about this issue and then get the Senate Committee book indicated at the end of this review. I grew up in Ohio as well as the other reviewer and I can tell you and especially him that he is wrong. I spent 17 months hospitalized after being "gassed in the gulf" and medevacced out unconscious to Germany following a total body seizure and over 6 hours of loss of consciousness. The 12 eyewitness written accounts of what had happened to me ... Read More
